Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis are a group of renal diseases which are still posing serious threat to human health and survival. They are all characterised by acute and rapid deterioration of renal function. Renal biopsy reveals extracapillary glomerulonephritis, most frequently circumferential and diffuse, and immunofluorescence findings continue to represent the most important clue to...

small meals (owing to distortion of the stomach and cardio-oesophageal junction); and (5) an abdominal fluid thrill but no shifting dullness, indicating a localised collection of fluid and clotted blood. The likely pathogenesis of the haemorrhage is over-distension of the stomach with tearing of a small blood vessel in the lesser omentum. The blood tracks inferiorly, stripping peritoneum from t...
متن کاملRapidly progressive glomerulonephritis associated with nontuberculous mycobacteria.
A 72-year-old woman with a past medical history of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease was admitted because of hemoptysis and acute renal failure. A chest X-ray showed interstitial infiltration over bilateral lung fields. Kidney biopsy showed immune complex-mediated acute diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis with 48% crescents and glomerular endocapillary hypercellularity wi...
متن کاملPredictors of outcome in idiopathic rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (IRPGN)
BACKGROUND Small vessel vasculitides are known to follow a devastating course towards end-stage renal disease, unless treated with immunosuppressive regiments. We investigated the value of clinical, histological and immunohistochemical parameters as predictors of outcome at diagnosis in patients with pauci immune necrotizing glomerulonephritis. METHODS In 34 patients the percentage and evolut...
متن کاملTowards a more rapid diagnosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
An attempt was made to provide simple practical guidelines to alert general practitioners to the diagnosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and lead to early referral to hospital. The duration of illness before referral to this hospital and its effect on outcome in patients with crescentic nephritis were assessed retrospectively from the case notes of 24 patients referred over two year...
